How to make a HUD with an image?

[WolvesSoulZ]

Well hello there, I wondered something...

How would I be able to make a hud with an image.
And keep it centered on the bottom of the screen?

The image my friend made for it:

And with VMF texture file, is it possible to keep transparency? If so how?

Thank you.

Get VTFEdit and turn the image into a .vtf file, and make a .vmt for it, then use the surface functions in lua to draw it at the bottom of the screen.

Is there any easy way to make a hud? 'cause I have hard time placing everything at their place.

That's what you have to do with a HUD.

I got it to work, it look pretty neat, but the image I used is pretty much transparent, the alpha channel I made isn't supposed to do that. Tho I'll find a way to fix that.

So then what are you asking?

I needed help about how to put a image as the hud... That guy who told me the surface function helped me.
Now the only thing I have is that the hud is pretty damn transparent.

Looks good, no idea why that happens

I tested it on gm_construct, and it work as intended, but in my map it's transparent... No idea why tho.
